I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group.

Interview

It's your basic consulting process, a mix of behavioral and case interview questions. The interviewers were incredibly nice and allowed for a very comfortable discussion throughout. The case interviews took up the most time, and although they watch the clock, it's up to you to be confident in your pacing and be able to move it forward when you have to, but also take a moment to gather your thoughts when you need to.

I applied through other source. The process took 5+ weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Boston, MA).

Interview

Hiring process started with BGC recruiting reaching out in LinkedIn. After first contact, I agreed to a quick 30min phone call, followed by 1 hour call with hiring manager. The following weeks I did rounds 2-3 on site, each interview day consisted of 2 hours of talking to team members and other business area managers. I did not hear anything back from BCG for about 3-4 weeks until I was invites for another hour long video interview. At this point I had spent about 12-15 hours and about $150 in parking visiting the BCG office. 5 rounds of interviews and I never received an offer or even a "Thanks for your time" email. I followed up with recruiting and hiring manager, both of them did not even bother to write back. Extremely disappointed with the unprofessional treatment received by BCG.

Interview Questions

General behavioral questions, with a few data warehousing and data analytics questions. Not a hard interview. Answer Question

Interview

I submitted my resume, cover letter, and answered some short answer questions (e.g. describe your proudest accomplishments; describe a time you had to assume a leadership position) through their online application portal. I was invited to interview a few weeks later. To help prepare for the interview, BCG offered webinars and one-on-one mock interviews with current consultants. The first-round interview day was well-organized and ran smoothly. All candidates interviewing around the same time waited together in a room where there was coffee, tea, and snacks, as well as other consultants to chat with. We were all given little notecards with bios of our two interviewers and information regarding next steps. Both of the interviews involved a set of fit questions and a case. Depending on the interviewer, the fit portion can be more conversational or feel like you are just answering a list of separate questions. Both of the cases were as expected--challenging and with a few complicated charts.

Interview

Standard first round: 2 45-min interviews.Each starts with a personal experience interview where they ask you questions based off of your resume. Then you proceed into a case that your interviewer has selected...which seems to usually be in an area that they have worked or know well. Lastly, they ask you if you have any questions for them.I have not heard if I have a second round interview yet.

Interview

Two interviews back-to-back: 10 minutes of fit, then about 30 minutes for the case, then 5 minutes of Q&A. No solid time-keeping from interviewers. Cases involve chart-reading and require knowledge of business concepts.

Interview

The process was very smooth and everyone there was professional. I interacted with two interviewers and one recruiting assistant. Received rejection letter in 2 business days. They were able to give me some feedback over the phone afterwards and that was very helpful.

I applied online. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Chicago, IL).

Interview

Oh wow...where to begin? First of all, I was contacted for an initial phone interview. I rearranged my schedule to have this phone interview. After waiting on the phone (I had to dial into a number), I received an email that they needed to reschedule to the next business day (Reschedule #1) . The next business day, in the morning, I again rearranged my schedule to have this call, and minutes before the call they asked to move the call to the end of the day (Reschedule #2). Come the end of the day, again after rearranging everything to have this call, I get an email that they mistakenly meant the next day instead of today for this rescheduled call, so the call would have to be moved to the next day (Reschedule #3). At this point I'm very frustrated and can't afford to keep arranging my schedule for all of thsee call attemps. Honestly, of this was any other company, I wouldn't have even continued with the process after all the rescheduling.

Finally, we had our call and on the call she asked that if I had any other jobs that were moving along faster than this one that I would be transparent and let them know. She said she would send me an email requesting writing samples. Days later I received this email, only after letting her know that I was expecting an offer from another company. Days later after sending in my writing samples I got a generic rejection.

I'd wish that if they're asking me to let them know we need to move the process that they'd also understand I need to be kept in the loop as well, instead of just receiving a generic rejection days later.

After this experience, I wouldn't apply here again in the future or recommend that anyone else does.

Interview Questions

What skills from your previous post ions make you a good fit? 1 Answer

I applied online. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Los Angeles, CA) in August 2017.

Interview

initial phone interview, followed by an 8 hour task to analyze a data set and report findings during the next webex interview.

The problem is that BCG does not respect your time during this process. First, the dataset provided had no 'solution'. They asked me to predict an outcome when the training data showed in every way that it was a randomly selected subset. Second, after providing a technical explanation of the work I did on the data set I was informed that they were simply testing me on presentation skills. I found that the interviewer is likely not interested in critical thinking or problem solving talent. Further, the interviewer refused to provide me with any insight into the data set I was tested with. That shows little respect for my time.In short, don't waste your time unless you really want to work with these guys. I don't. I'll stick with real Science!

Interview Questions

Business knowledge and experience. Everything surrounded how well I would fit there line of thinking. Answer Question

Initial phone call first, then one on one interview, and then called back for a more relaxed getting to know you interview. Amazing experience even though I was denied. BCG is a fantastic company and anyone would be lucky to work there.
